The potential of Zea mays L. in remediating copper and zinc contaminated soils for grapevine production
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016)The application of fungicides containing Cu and Zn in vineyards can lead to accumulation of these metals at toxic levels. The successive cultivation of maize in these areas can be an interesting alternative to alleviate ... -
Physiological Changes in Maize Grown in Soil with Copper and Zinc Accumulation Resulting from the Addition of Pig Slurry and Deep Litter over 10 Years
(Springer International Publishing, 2016)The aim of the present study was to evaluate if increased Cu and Zn concentrations in soils, as a consequence of distribution at the field level for 10 consecutive years of pig slurry (PS) and pig deep litter (DL), would ... -
Growth and chemical changes in the rhizosphere of black oat (Avena strigosa) grown in soils contaminated with copper
(2018)Copper based pesticides are used to protect vineyards from fungal infections. Plants like black oats (Avena strigosa Schreb) can promote chemical changes in the rhizosphere, reducing copper (Cu) bioavailability in contaminated ... -
Intercropping of young grapevines with native grasses for phytoremediation of Cu-contaminated soils
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2019)Intercropping may be a strategy for phytoremediation of vineyard soils with high copper (Cu) content. The study aimed to evaluate the contribution of South American native grasses in limiting Cu availability and toxicity ... -
Peach rootstock tolerance to excess zinc in sandy acidic soil
(2018)In some areas dedicated to the cultivation of peach plants, soils are characterized by high levels of zinc (Zn) as a consequence of successive applications of Zn-containing fungicides and/or use of animal manure as fertilizer. ...
